Generic vs. Glucophage

  • I think I posted under the wrong thread.

    Does anyone who uses glucophage think there is a difference between the generic and brand.

    I would like to here from anyone who may have an opinion on this.

    All advice will be appreciated. Thanks so much.
  • There is no difference. Glucophage and Met are the same. However, only Glucophage offers a time released formula called GlucophageXR. XR is way better then regular.
  • Thanks so much for your reply.
  • Mercy, will they pay for name brand if there is no generic available? I agree with HS, the extended release is much better.
    If that is an option, you might want to discuss it with your doctor.
